One touch of her hand against my face, was like being touched by an angel.
Listening to her voice was like watching the choirs of heaven singing just for me.
Having her kiss my lips was worth more than an eternity in paradise.
If this is my last day with her, I wouldn't look back and regret anything...
one fleeting moment with her in my arms was worth a thousand lifetimes.

{At around 2 a.m. the light from the moon pierces into the darkened hotel room of Adam Knite. We see the dark figure of Adam walking into the front room where Zelda has again fallen asleep on the couch from a night of binging on video games. Adam looks around somberly, letting the conversation he and Kelly had earlier rattle through his mind. He walks over and turns off the Television, Zelda stirs, but doesn't wake. He walks out onto the balcony taken caution to not wake his sister, he sits down, leaning his back against the rails and covers his face with his hands... could this really be the end?}
“I don't know what to say anymore. It's almost to a point where it doesn't matter, where nothing I say means anything anymore. Me and Kelly talked, yes.. about our lives, about basically growing up together and what it would be like if we grew old together. We talked about baby names for our child and we talked about if we had a future together and we even talked about how I would handle our child if she was with Steve. I told her the truth, I would love that child no matter what happened between us, I wouldn't abandon my little one.”
{Adam leans his head back and puts the back of his head against the metal railing of the balcony. He looks up into the night sky and focuses on the stars blinking silently over his head.}
“Love... do you really understand what it means Steve? Do you really?! I don't think you do, you claim you love Kelly, you claim you have this new found feeling of true “love” that you believe in, but do you really know what it takes to love? To care about another person more than you do yourself, more than anything else, would you give up your happiness just to see the other person with a smile on their face? I don't think you know what that means at all Steve, because you've never been in the situation before. You're enamored with Kelly, you're obsessed with her, but you don't love her, you're in love with what she represents, a repentance of all the things you've done wrong with your romance life. You've put her on a cross as your savior and now you can't accept the fact that she was meant for someone else.”
“Do you know what if feels like to purposely give up everything, your life, reputation, and your friends just to be with somebody? You remember the Revolution Steve... I put my entire career on the line to bring this company falling down just to be with Kelly, to take the strain off of her by killing the company that was draining the life from her, running it. I made up my mind that I was going to be with Kelly no matter what it took, even ripping down the walls of the company I loved. That is how much I love Kelly, that is how much I wanted to see her happy, and you saw first hand what happened when I set my mind on it.... I took over this company, with Kelly by my side we ruled this place for months as NCW: Revolution, all because I was determined to not fail. I brought everybody to their knees as the greatest threat that NCW had ever seen, then ruled it as a king. That is what happens when Adam Knite wants something Steve, that's what happens when you care about somebody so much you don't care how you look to your peers, you don't care how many enemies you make.”
“You fought me once before Steve, for the control of this company, you tried to stop me... how did that end for you and your group of idiots? If not for the betrayal of Burns and Angel, this company would be owned solely by me and Kelly right now. You couldn't stop us, you were powerless and you think you can stop me now? HA! I love Kelly, more than you could ever imagine, you saw how hard I fought to rule this company, you saw how passionate I was with that Revolution and I love Kelly so much more than that, I care about her more then the universe spinning over our heads, and you think you can derail me? No Steve.... You are powerless, you don't have the same fire inside as I do for Kelly, that flame is burning bright, while you just think you know what Love is... while you just try and pretend you know what Kelly needs.”
{Adam turns his head and looks into the living room at Zelda sleeping on the couch, he smiles at her even though he knows she can't see him, and it seems for a brief moment, that he's happy.}
“Look at Zelda in there Steve.... a month ago she hated me, and rightfully so, what I did to her was inexcusable. Yet, I was determined to make things right. I was determined to have my sister back, and like everything else, I always get what I want. If it meant tapping out in front of millions of fans, if it meant losing a match to you.... I would do it. No matter what it took Steve, I was determined to bring Zelda back. Do you realize how much I love Zelda? For ten years I was giving a fourth of everything I made to her, to my dad to support, and spending whatever I had left on anything she wanted, while keeping her a secret to the world, as she requested... so she could live a normal life... that is until she decided to follow in my footsteps, then I did everything I could to prepare her for this life in the ring, and you know what happened next, undefeated... she's done good.”
“You don't get it Steve, how much I care about those two women. You don't understand how the fire inside of me burns, just to make them happy. For a while I forgot, I took it for granted and it drove them away. I will do anything in my power to fix that, to make things right. I've got my sister back, I only need my wife now. With them at my side, I don't need all the riches in the world, I don't need to be world champion, I don't need accomplishments... all I need is my family. Kelly, Zelda, my child, nothing else matters to me, nothing else even compares.”
{Adam puts his hands to his side and stares forward, not blinking, not showing any kind of expression, just staring into the distance.}
“You don't understand Steve... Kelly isn't a person to me, she's my soul, my life, my being, my sanity, my everything. She isn't human, she isn't ordinary, she's beyond reproach. Everything I am, it's because of Kelly, everything I'll ever will be will be because of Kelly. She pulled me out of the darkness and saved me from myself, she can never mean that much to you. You couldn't imagine how much I love her.”
“Steve... just promise me one thing. If you do win her heart, promise me that you'll love her. Promise me that you will treat her like the Goddess she is. If you don't give her every ounce of affection that she deserves, I will kill you... no threat, not false words... they'd never find your body if you broke her heart..... She was my life Steve, so you better make her happy Steve, that's all I care about, her happiness. don't forget that... til the day you die, don't you dare forget that.”
{And with that Adam's head drops and he wraps his arms around his stomach in pain, he closes is eyes and we can see the tears fall and crash into the balcony floor as we fade to black.}
She'll always be my angel... til the day I take my last breath.
